While there is research to be done right here in Nebraska, there is more to be done at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. My sister-in-law and I are leaving for two weeks in the "genealogy city." I will be gone over three weeks.

Shortly after returning home, I will be presenting lectures at the Family History Expo to be held here in North Platte, Nebraska on Thursday, June 16th. This is a great opportunity for genealogists in the area to participate in a top-notch conference.

If you want to keep up with what is happening while we are in Salt Lake City, read the blog You Go Genealogy Girls. Stay turned for more!

A year in the planning, my new book, Genealogical Research in Nebraska, has been published by Family Roots Publishing Co. I wrote the book with genealogists in mind ... genealogists with ancestors or relatives who may have settled in Nebraska.

There are many repositories in Nebraska and unique records. The book contains information on the types of records and where to locate them. The following are chapters in the book:

About Me

I am a professional genealogist, writer, lecturer and teacher living in Nebraska. Genealogy is truly my passion and has been for over 40 years. I am a widow and have two children,two grandchildren, one great grandchild and a sister-in-law who is also doing genealogical research. We lecture and travel together and are known as the You Go Genealogy Girls.
At this time I accept clients for genealogical research only in Lincoln Co., Nebraska. I also do genealogical consulting. My research in Lincoln Co. is in courthouse records, the library, newspaper records and cemetery research.
Please inquire about my lecture topics and fees. I have lectured at national, state and local conferences.
